Have You Seen a Solar Rickshaw in India?

Delhi

Team Su-Kam built a solar-powered electric rickshaw that ran longer than ordinary battery rickshaws on Delhi's roads. Where a typical e-rickshaw managed about 65 km on a full charge, the solar version stretched to 85 km and beyond, topping up from the sun as it drove.

It used four Su-Kam solar panels on the roof to generate DC power continuously. For a driver, that meant less time charging and more time earning — an estimated ₹150–200 more a day, around ₹60,000 a year.

The project fused clean energy with last-mile mobility — a glimpse of solar's role in urban transport, and a characteristically practical Su-Kam experiment under Kunwer Sachdev.
